The technical nature of so many federal grant programs can mean that recipient and subrecipient organizations must obtain outside help from members of particular professions or others who possess special skills. These procurements present a variety of challenges because numerous federal requirements always apply at certain stages of the transaction and some other special rules kick in when particular types of services are being acquired.
This webinar captures all of the relevant requirements and shows you how to use them when differing grants management circumstances demand. We’ll cover:
- Finding qualified professionals
- Building lists of offerors
- Crafting solicitation documents
- RFPs and IFBs
- Scopes of services
- Selection criteria
- Eliminating organizational conflict of interest
- Justifying use of sole sources
